I'd LOVE to meet up in Memphis! I haven't seen you since the Beloit College Reunion, and that was three years ago . . .

Heard a rumor (from Reem and Nicole) you were coming up North. Hopefully it's not between the 11th and the 18th because I'll be in CA. I'd love to see you.

Okay! I think I'm around until the 19th, so I can make something work. The night of the 16th I have something going on...is there an actual event that night? Maybe I could make it to part of it? I'll hopefully talk to you before then, but if not, just let me know when you get here! Can't wait to see you darlin...xxoo!
